Maroni, Bassal, Krishnan et al. characterise human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying Kras-mutations by single-cell RNA sequencing. They identify a tumour-specific population that is conserved in mice and responds to the drug, PTC596, which is currently in clinical trials and may offer a potential avenue for treating aggressive NSCLC expressing mutated Kras.
